On today's show, President Trump responds to the latest target letter sent to him by the DOJ regarding his January 6th grand jury subpoena, and calls for his immediate arrest and indictment. President Trump also speaks on the ongoing effort by the Deep State to delegitimize President Trump and take him out of office.
00:00:52.000Joe Biden and his many allies, from Chuck Schumer to Mitch McConnell to Paul Ryan,
00:01:01.000and every single news anchor on all of television, all of them believe that Ukraine, its borders, its future, its infrastructure,
00:01:07.000are all more important than the town that you live in.
00:01:10.000They sincerely think that, and it's obvious.
00:01:13.000Everyone in power thinks that, except for Donald Trump.
00:01:17.000Whatever else you say about him, Trump is the one guy with an actual shot of becoming president who dissents from Washington's longstanding pointless war agenda.
00:01:26.000And for that, that one fact, they're trying to take Trump out before you can vote for him.
00:01:33.000And that should upset you more than anything that's happened in American politics in your lifetime.
00:01:37.000We are live. That was, of course, Tucker Carlson on Twitter, really framing up the battle that rages on in Washington, D.C.,
00:01:48.000against the neoconservatives and the globalists.
00:01:51.000And our instrument to fight back against that certainly was President Trump during his time in office.
00:01:59.000The big news today, President Trump releasing on Truth Social a statement indicating that he expects an arrest, an indictment in the January 6th matter.
00:02:09.000I'm reading now from the statement from President Trump in part.
00:02:12.000Horrifying news for our country was given to me by my attorneys.
00:02:16.000Deranged Jack Smith, the prosecutor with Joe Biden's DOJ, sent a letter.
00:02:20.000Again, it was Sunday night, stating that I am a target of the January 6th grand jury investigation
00:02:25.000and giving me a very short four days to report to the grand jury, which almost always means an arrest, an indictment.
00:02:33.000President Trump continues, they illegally spied on my campaign, attacked me with a totally fake dossier
00:02:40.000that was funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC, impeached me twice, I won.
00:02:45.000They failed on the Mueller witch hunt, no collusion.
00:02:48.000They failed on the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, the 51 intelligence agents fraud, the FBI Twitter files,
00:02:54.000the DOJ Facebook censorship, and every other scam imaginable.
00:02:57.000But on top of all that, they now effectively indicted me three times with a probable fourth coming from Atlanta
00:03:04.000where the DOJ are in strict and possibly illegal coordination with the district attorney
00:03:09.000whose record on murder and other violent crime is abysmal.
00:03:13.000This witch hunt is all about election interference and a complete and total political weaponization of law enforcement.
00:03:20.000It is a very sad and dark period for our nation.
00:03:24.000President Trump didn't even get to all of the conspiracies and hoaxes that were pushed by the left,
00:05:19.000You have the ability to address the grand jury if you so choose.
00:05:23.000That's oftentimes a perjury trap because you don't exactly know what's been going on in that room.
00:05:29.000So a lot of targets do not avail themselves of that opportunity.
00:05:34.000It's also pretty clear that this is a feature and a tool of retribution.
00:05:40.000You would not see this continued pattern of indictment over indictment over indictment if they thought they had neutralized Trump.
00:05:48.000Is there a single American who believes that Donald Trump would be getting indicted over these things
00:05:54.000if he were not running for president again and if he were not the leading contender for president again?
00:06:00.000And while this isn't a political show, you all can search the polling and see how President Trump is doing in the Republican field and in the general election.
00:11:52.000That would be general artificial intelligence.
00:11:55.000And we are oftentimes at a state of wonder as to when that will occur.
00:12:00.000Elon Musk said recently on Spaces with Mike Gallagher, who chairs the relevant subcommittee in the armed services over AI,
00:12:08.000and with Ro Khanna that he thought we might be five years away from that type of generalized artificial intelligence.
00:12:14.000But artificial intelligence and machine learning aren't the same thing.
00:12:18.000And we ought to have discussions with the public and with serious people about how various exquisite data sets
00:12:26.000play into the ability for AI models to be able to generate helpful, instructive, destructive work products in a variety of ways.
00:12:36.000So just today, I've stepped out of a really important subcommittee hearing where we had some of the world leaders on artificial intelligence talking about the intersection of AI and our military policy.
00:12:49.000And unlike the vice president, we had a very serious discussion about this point.
00:12:53.000And I'm telling you, if you aren't thinking about AI in every aspect of where the economy is moving, where foreign policy is moving,
00:13:00.000where kinetic conflict is moving, where soft power can be extended, then you're not getting the full picture.
00:13:06.000This is not just the next technology. It could indeed be the last technology.
00:13:11.000We are going through these serious issues.
00:13:14.000I want to bring you in the room to the Armed Services Committee just moments ago on artificial intelligence.
00:13:22.000Mr. Wang, thank you for bringing into sharp relief the extent to which we have to think about all of these weapons systems that we have in contested environments.
00:13:29.000As data collections platforms, almost primarily when it comes to integration with AI.
00:13:36.000And I took great interest in your call to the committee that we not waste that exquisite data that is being collected.
00:13:46.000What advice would you have for the committee about shaping some sort of access or utilization regime for the data that we are currently wasting?
00:13:54.000I think this is one of the most important things that we can do to set up America for decades and decades of leadership in military use of AI.
00:14:04.000Right now, a lot of this data goes onto hard drives.
00:14:07.000And what ends up happening are the hard drives are either overwritten with new information, so the old data gets deleted effectively and lost,
00:14:14.000or these hard drives go into sort of closets or places where they never see the light of day.
00:14:20.000So first is instrumenting the data to sort of flow into one central data repository.
00:14:26.000The CDAO has a legislative mandate to do so and set up a central data repository for the DOD.
00:14:33.000So I think that's of critical importance.
00:14:35.000And then this is a whole of DOD issue.
00:14:39.000Every service, every group, every program needs to be thinking about how can they,
00:14:44.000all of the data that their programs are collecting and that are being generated within their purview,
00:14:49.000how can they ensure that all these data flow through into one central data repository,
00:14:53.000and then are prepared and tagged and labeled for AI-ready use down the line.
00:14:58.000And it would seem as though under the normal construct of a mission set,
00:15:03.000someone might reasonably be stovepiped away from the broader utilization of some of that data.
00:15:09.000So it almost seems like something that is an appendage to a mission set.
00:15:16.000Very hard to weave it in because as you're collecting data in contested environments,
00:15:21.000it could be for all kind of reasons and all kind of help.
00:15:24.000So I wonder aloud what will be commoditized first,
00:15:29.000the processing capability on some of these platforms or the data itself?
00:15:34.000Well, I think you're right that this is, you know, data is a new asset for this new regime of AI warfare.
00:15:43.000Data truly is the ammunition that will power, you know, our future efforts in the military.
00:15:49.000So, you know, it is a new paradigm to think about data as a key and central resource versus, as you mentioned,
00:15:56.000an appendage that sort of doesn't feel particularly critical to the future operation of our programs.
00:16:02.000Yeah, you know, we do all kind of domestic policy, military policy around who can access rare earth minerals,
00:16:09.000who can access various forms of energy.
00:16:12.000And I wonder if in the future a nation state's access to exquisite data sets that have been properly stored and collected are viewed just as precious.
00:16:23.000I also wanted to reflect on the smartest hour I ever spent.
00:16:27.000And it was listening to Elon Musk with our chair and ranking member discuss some of these issues.
00:16:31.000And I would encourage anyone watching this who has an interest in the issue,
00:16:35.000hard to find a conversation on the Internet with a higher average IQ across the board than that one.
00:16:40.000But what Mr. Musk presented as an argument was that China understands that AI control of governance is equally a threat to them and to the United States.
00:16:52.000And so Mr. Musk's argument was we really are ideal partners with China because we share a common goal to not have the AI robots ultimately take over our governance.
00:17:04.000And our chairman offered, I think, a pretty strident critique of that perspective, saying that, you know,
00:17:10.000while we view China as typically thinking long term and the short term, they're more team communistic genocide than they are team humanity.
00:17:18.000So I was just wondering if because you had so much in your written testimony about your time in China and how that shaped your perspective on the ethics of all this.
00:17:27.000Do you think China sees an overlap of interests with the United States on this or do they see us as a as explicitly an arm's length competitor?
00:17:37.000I think it would be stretched to say we're we're on the same team on this on this issue.
00:17:43.000I think that, you know, if you look at the last generation of AI computer vision technology, the way that China approached it was utilizing it,
00:17:52.000building an industrial base that was government funded to immediately build advanced facial recognition technology for the suppression of their population and suppression of Uyghurs,
00:18:01.000ultimately sort of tightening the grip of their totalitarian regime.
00:18:04.000I expect them to use modern AI technologies in the same way to the degree that they can.
00:18:10.000And that seems to be the immediate priority of the Chinese Communist Party when it comes to implementations of AI.
00:18:18.000So we'll count you on Team Gallagher, not Team Elon on that.
00:20:42.000And I am not in a majority when it comes to that perspective in the Congress or maybe even the Republican Party.
00:20:48.000And so that's where this audience and conservatives across the country have to demand an adherence to the rule of law.
00:20:56.000And where there is a departure from that, there have to be actual monetary consequences, not just a series of press releases, tweets and condemnation.
00:21:28.000And it's certainly an honor to be able to do that.
00:21:30.000I had an honor to convey a lot of information this past weekend at the Turning Point USA conference where we talked about some of the policy decisions that we make here in Washington, some of the contours of the United States Congress.
00:21:45.000The speech got a pretty favorable reception.
00:21:48.000I'll play just a few moments of it for you.
00:21:51.000These are my remarks this last weekend at Turning Point.
00:23:58.000A president who most days cannot find his pants should not be able to sleepwalk the United States of America into a war with a nuclear power.
00:24:11.000There's this big online debate raging right now, and I just want to settle as one true north for the nature of truth itself.
00:24:23.000A 10 is a 10, even with Common Core math.
00:24:26.000God's love does not halt for the limitations of man, and God's reach does not stop at the schoolhouse gates.
00:24:42.000And in the coming days, I will introduce a national prayer in school law so that in every classroom in America, there will be time for students to pray if they choose.
00:25:04.000This beautiful new Supreme Court that President Trump gave us just might uphold a constitutional law like that based on the values that this country was built on.
00:25:15.000This is not the Lincoln-Douglas debating society or the neighborhood civility brunch.
00:25:23.000This is a fight to save the greatest country that has ever existed.
00:25:27.000And so here is my charge to all of you, to all of my colleagues in the Congress, join the ranks of the firebrands or get out of our way.
00:25:46.000We're very excited about that national prayer in school legislation to allow a moment for reflection and prayer to any God or no God at all.
00:25:56.000But I do think reserving that time would make people more empathetic.
00:26:00.000And maybe before we go take people's Second Amendment rights away as a knee-jerk reaction to school shootings, we ought to focus on making the school not a place of just like so much trauma for this group of very disturbed and mentally unhealthy individuals.
00:26:16.000And I got to tell you, I'm betting on prayer to break through that more than any other government program or social-emotional learning exercise designed by bureaucrats.
00:26:27.000Give me the social-emotional learning designed by God.
00:26:31.000And I think that can have a great impact on people and a positive impact, and hopefully it can be a unifying thing.
00:26:38.000And we did have jurisprudence out of the Supreme Court about prayer in school.
00:26:42.000They did allow a coach to be able to go and pray at the 50-yard line, followed by students at the end of a high school football game.
00:26:51.000So we can trace some of the analysis there we've got out of the Trump court and unlock possibilities for us to be better humans and certainly better servants of God.
00:27:28.000It is certainly a day of a lot of reactions here on Capitol Hill.
00:27:33.000I've talked to a number of my colleagues about this statement from President Trump that he expects yet another arrest and indictment in the Jack Smith matter.
00:27:41.000I think this is among the most political, most ridiculous because we have the evidence that President Trump was calling for a patriotic, peaceful protest.
00:27:52.000Permitted even in some cases by some groups that wanted to host an audience outside the Capitol grounds.
00:27:59.000Don't forget that whistleblower testimony that I brought forward indicating that one of the reasons why evidence couldn't even be shared within the FBI is because the FBI field office was acknowledging the involvement of federal government assets on January 6th.
00:28:15.000And we still don't have the answer to those questions.
00:28:18.000We shouldn't have Americans who were not violent, who never intended to break a law in some state of potential prison or peril when it's our own federal government that hasn't been fulsome and forthcoming when we have asked important questions.
00:28:34.000We will stay on that, just like we will stay on the matter that seems to be destabilizing to the upcoming presidential election and the lawfare they're appended to.
00:28:44.620I wanted to end the show today on a more lighthearted note.
00:28:48.000Yesterday, my wife Ginger and I went to an event at the UK Embassy where they had a Barbie party.
00:28:55.020As you might imagine, it was Ginger's choice to go there and we watched the Barbie movie and my wife had the spiciest take on the Barbie movie.
00:29:04.380So I'm going to give you the at Lucky Ginger, which is my wife's Twitter handle, take on this matter.
00:29:10.660She says, quote, thinking about watching the Barbie movie, I'd recommend sticking to getting outfit inspiration and skipping the theater.
00:29:19.160The Barbie I grew up with was a representation of limitless possibilities, embracing diverse characters and feminine empowerment.
00:29:27.780The 2023 Barbie movie, unfortunately, neglects to address any notion of faith or family and tries to normalize the idea that men and women cannot collaborate positively.
